PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone waits by a private airplane.
Dynamite is kicking off, but the Nightmare Family arrives in Charleston. Cody is ready to sign that AEW World Championship contract, and gets an encouraging hug from Dustin. Cody and Tony head to the car. Cody figures “it’s just another match, right?” Well a little bit more than that. Tony gets to ride with the American Nightmare, but will the Inner Circle make the entire night a nightmare?
AEW recaps what happened after TNT had to cut away.
Jon Moxley and PAC were not satisfied with their time limit draw, but it was The Bastard who almost ended the Death Rider! However, Kenny Omega and Hangman Page came out to make the save. Omega still wants Moxley at Full Gear, and Hangman dares Pac to man up for another round!
But there was more to what happened after the show was over. Tony Khan asked to see Moxley, and Moxley stormed his way to the boss’ office. Khan says they could no longer sanction Omega VS Moxley!? Moxley doesn’t get it. So this match won’t count on the win-loss record? Exactly. Khan knows it’ll be great, but he doesn’t want AEW to be held responsible for what happens between them. “You gotta be f***ing kidding me, man!” But Khan doesn’t get why Moxley is upset, this should be good since unsanctioned matches are no disqualification. Moxley tells Khan to shut up, because he wants his win over Omega to be on the record! He’s been working too hard these last couple of months for this! Moxley had the balls to go after the “top boy” and now he’s just some “freak show” to Khan? That’s just like how everywhere else treats Moxley!
Khan keeps trying to reason with Moxley, but Moxley doesn’t care. What happens next, what happens to Omega, is on Khan’s hands now! Moxley storms out, will he make Khan and AEW management regret this?
Sammy Guevara VS Hangman Adam Page!
The Inner Circle and the Elite do battle through the #BestEver and the Problem Solver! Will Hangman keep momentum on the way to a rematch with Pac at the expense of the “young Spanish god”?
The bell rings and fans are more on Hangman’s side than Sammy’s. Sammy pretends not to care as he takes his time taking off his jacket. They circle and tie up, and they end up on the ropes. Hangman has control but lets up at the ref’s count. Sammy insults Hangman and his horse, but Hangman CHOPS him back! And CHOPS again! Hangman whips but Sammy dodges, only to run into a BOOT! Fans cheer as Hangman wrenches Sammy to a shoulder breaker, then a suplex! Cover, TWO! Hangman drags Sammy up but Sammy headlocks to block. Hangman still back suplexes but Sammy slips out and shoves. Sammy follows, hurdles, back flips and dropkicks! Then shows of as he stands up and takes a bow. Fans boo as Sammy snap suplexes Hangman to a cover, TWO!
Charleston chants “Sammy Sucks!” but Sammy pretends not to hear it. Sammy brings Hangman up to CHOP and forearm, then ram him into a corner. Sammy CHOPS again, then whips, but Hangman reverses to run in and throat chop to SLAP! Fans cheer as Sammy flounders up. Sammy BOOTS back, then hops up, to leap!

Hangman is writhing but Sammy puts him in the ring. Sammy walks into a CHOP but gives a forearm! Sammy brings Hangman up, fireman’s carry, and does some squats to show off, before hitting the Samoan Drop! Cover, TWO!
Sammy stomps Hangman down before going to the corner. Fans boo as Sammy climbs up top. Sammy takes his time as he takes aim, to just hop down and SLAP Hangman! But Hangman just gets angry and CHOPS Sammy back! And again! Hangman throws haymakers then whips, but Sammy reverses, only for Hangman to swing him around. Sammy blocks the clothesline to spin Hangman around, but Hangman comes with the southpaw clothesline, only for Sammy to flip through! And SUPERKICK! Hangman still LARIATS! Fans are loving this “A E Dub!” opener! A standing count begins and climbs to 5, but Hangman is up at 7. Sammy follows as Charleston reaches a fever pitch. Hangman hits a corner to corner clothesline, whips Sammy and BOOTS him again! Then snap saido suplex! Sammy rolls out to the apron but Hangman is seething.
Hangman goes out to the apron to join Sammy, and brings him up for the Alabama lift. Sammy fights out to enziguri back! Then he hops back out, to run into a SCRAPBUSTER on the apron! Fans cheer while Sammy writhes, but Hangman puts him in for a POP-UP BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Sammy survives but Hangman drags Sammy up. He throws Sammy out hard, then heads to a corner. Hangman SUPER ASAIS! Direct hit!! Hangman puts Sammy in, tosses a wristband away, but Sammy gets far out of the Buckshot’s range. Hangman gets in and brings Sammy up, but sees the back hand coming. Hangman boots but Sammy knee strikes back! Rolling elbow from Hangman, but then Sammy puts him on the apron. Sammy forgets about the BUCKSHOT! Cover, Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Adam Page, by pinfall
The problem has been solved, and Hangman is rolling on towards Full Gear! Hangman grabs a mic and says, “It ain’t no secret that things haven’t been going so well for me. But tonight felt good!” And at Full Gear, Hangman says he’ll do some real “cowboy sh*t” and take Pac’s head off! Fans echo “Cowboy Sh*t!” as Hangman drops the mic. Will the Bastard get some Buckshot like Sammy just did?
Private Party has some legendary guests!
It’s the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express! Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen are excited to see tag team icons, and give them VIP passes. Now they can all party together!
Shanna VS Hikaru Shida!
“Portugal’s Perfect Athlete” has her Dynamite debut, but she’s up against the sensational samurai of Stardom! Will Shida redeem herself from falling short at All Out here tonight?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Shanna waistlocks but Shida pries free to a standing switch. Shanna works to do the same, and wrenches to a shoulder breaker! She wristlocks Shida but Shida rolls to wrench back. Shanna rolls, handsprings and arm-drags! Shida is up but gets another arm-drag! Shanna back kicks then runs, for a rolling neckbreaker! Cover, TWO! Shanna keeps on Shida but Shida kicks back. Shida whips but Shanna reverses to send Shida out! Shanna builds speed, but Shida gets up to intercept with a knee!

Fans fire up as Shida wipes Shanna out!
Shida gets back to Shanna and puts her in the ring. Shanna staggers but Shida gives her big knees. Shida drags Shanna up for more, and Shanna staggers about. Fans are strongly behind Shida as she scoops and gives Shanna a backbreaker! Cover, ONE, but Shida keeps on Shanna with stomps. Shida also clubs away on the back, and Shanna retreats to ropes.

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
What a shocking debut from Portugal’s Perfect Athlete, but being perfect was still not enough to stop Shida! Will this Stardom star shine on the road to the AEW Women’s World Championship?
Brandi Rhodes is going to a dark place.
She attacked Jamie Hayter without provocation, and without explanation. And now, she has pictures of top AEW Women’s Division contenders on her vanity mirror. She and Awesome Kong look to be preparing something truly wicked. What will become of the Women’s Division with these two growing stronger by the moment?
Chris Van Vliet is on stage to introduce the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express!
Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton present the AEW World Tag Team Championship belts to the world! It feels great to be back in Charleston, West Virginia! R’N’R beat the Oli and Arn Anderson in this very building. But now, Ortiz and Santana attack?! The Inner Circle’s Proud ‘n’ Powerful have no shame in attacking these living legends! Fans boo but the Boricuan Bad Boys won’t leave Ricky alone! They beat him with that weighted sock! P’N’P hold up the tag titles, but then let them go to go after Ricky more! DOUBLE POWERBOMB THROUGH THE STAGE!! The Young Bucks hurry out and run P’N’P off! The Bucks check on their heroes, the R’N’R Express, but it might be too little too late. Medics hurry to help Ricky while AEW goes to break.
AEW checks in with Cody and Schiavone.
They’re still some time away from the arena. The contract signing is coming, this reminds of Tuscon, Arizona, Schiavone had an interview with Willie Nelson at the pool. Schiavone went to Dusty’s room and found him “buck naked.” Dusty asked if Willie was already at the pool, and yes he ways. Dusty said, “Good,” and got dressed. The American Dream told Schiavone, “The star always comes out last.” So that’s the master plan for Cody tonight? Make Chris Jericho wait? Yep.
Cody thinks back to his dad, and he’s so excited to sign this contract. Mama Rhodes will be at Full Gear, and Cody thinks about all the shows she saw of Dusty. Cody can’t help but want to impress her. It seems so strange, with Jericho surely flanked by the Inner Circle. Cody knows how great Jericho is, but this is his time now. Schiavone knows the Rhodes/Rennels family will all be watching. That emotion is good, it will drive Cody to be even better. That’s just Schiavone’s advice, even though he’s not a wrestling coach. The history of everything, Schiavone is honored. Cody is glad to have Schiavone with him.
Six Man Tag: QT Marshal, Alex Reynolds & John Silver VS Best Friends & Orange Cassidy!
God’s Gift to Wrestling is back on TV, alongside the Beaver Boys, but Charleston doesn’t seem to care. But fans do love that Rick & Morty are hanging with the Best Friends and Orange Cassidy! The three even cosplay Rick and Morty, and another Rick!
The teams sort out and Silver starts against Chuckie T. They tie up and Chuckie headlocks but Silver powers out. Chuckie runs Silver over then tags in Trent. They double whip and double shoulder Silver down. Trent loses his wig but quickly puts it back on. Trent brings Silver up to CHOP down, then facelock. Silver slips out and snatches the hair to then BOOT Trent down! Reynolds and QT bum rush Chuckie and Cassidy while Silver holds up his trophy. The ref reprimands the trio while Silver whips Trent in for a corner clothesline. Reynolds and QT add their own, then Silver runs in, only to miss! Trent hits a tornado DDT! Tag to Chuckie, and Chuckie rallies on QT and Reynolds! Chuckie clotheslines Reynolds out then gives QT a standing Sliced Bread! Fans fire up as Chuckie runs in at Silver, but Silver dodges.
Trent tags back in, Silver runs into a rising knee! Trent hits Silver with the shotgun knee! Chuckie gives Trent back his wig, but Reynolds runs in, only to get Sole Food Half ‘n’ Half! The wigs are back on, but QT ruins the hug! Orange Cassidy returns! And he has his hands in his pocket, so you know he means business! QT talks trash but gets a “devastating” series of Sloth kicks. QT dodges the superkick, but not the no-hands dropkick! QT tumbles out while Cassidy kips up! And the ref helps him with his glasses, before everyone hugs! Cassidy then NO HAND TOPES! Silver gets the STRONG ZERO! Cover, Best Friends win!
Winners: Best Friends, Trent pinning
Rick & Morty is back on Adult Swim on November 10th, but Freshly Squeezed and his new friends are winning right here! Will Cassidy, Trent and Chuckie T rise to the top of AEW together?
It is time for the AEW World Championship contract signing!
The table is on stage as LE CHAMPEON appears first! Chris Jericho is in the Halloween spirit with that jack o’lantern suit jacket. Jericho sets the title on the table and takes a seat, but as Dusty Rhodes told Schiavone, the star comes out last. And arriving just now is The American Nightmare! Schiavone and Cody head inside, knowing full well they’re making Jericho wait. Jericho shrugs it off as Cody makes his entrance, Schiavone by his side. Cody takes his seat across the table and Schiavone welcomes Charleston to this contract signing.
Saturday, November 9th, Baltimore, Maryland, Full Gear, Chris Jericho VS Cody Rhodes for the AEW World Championship. Jericho revels in the heat the fans heap on him while Cody soaks up all the cheers. This match will have a 60 minute time limit, with a panel of three judges, should time run out. The contract is ready, and Cody takes it first as the challenger. Cody reads it over while fans cheer, and he signs his name. The contract is then passed to Jericho as fans boo. Jericho reads it over, then stands up fast. Cody reacts, and Jericho laughs at him. “Sit down, sit down.” This match is too important. Fans tell Jericho, “You Suck!” but Jericho doesn’t care, they can chant away. Jericho says he doesn’t suck, “Skeeavone” sucks.
But this match is too important to powerbomb Cody through the table. This is the biggest match in AEW history, in all of pro-wrestling in 2019, and of Cody’s career. If Cody wins, he’ll finally be a world champion. But if Cody loses, it might prove to him and the “entitled Millennial jackasses” that that he’s not as good as he thinks he is. Jericho promises to sign the contract and then teach Cody a lesson “of what it’s like to be a loser.” Jericho takes his time clicking the pen, and then signs. Jericho then stands up again, but Cody is ready. Cody even takes off his jacket just in case. Jericho tells the “hillbillies” to calm down, then looks Cody up and down. Two gentlemen keeping things civil, not making a mockery out of the title. They’re true professionals, after all. And Le Champeon has the poise and grace to ask for a handshake. Fans are wary, but Cody accepts. The two shake hands, but then Cody pulls Jericho in close. Tension rises, and fans want to see a scuffle, but Jericho says Cody “might be needed elsewhere.”
Sammy has a camera feed going, back at the limousine. Because Jake Hager is attacking Dustin Rhodes! He slams Dustin onto the limo, then knees him against it! And very, very low! He uses Dustin’s head to dent the trunk! Cody hurries to the back but Hager SLAMS the door shut on Dustin’s arm!! Cody finally arrives, along with MJF and security, but clearly the damage is done! The Inner Circle is ordered to leave, and Jericho smokes a cigar as he watches on. Jericho mocks Dustin’s pain and Cody’s anger before riding away with his Inner Circle. Schiavone said to use emotion in this coming match. Is Cody only going to have that much more to use against Jericho? Or will this be too much to handle?
Six Man Tag: The Elite VS Kip Sabian & The Hybrid2!
The challenged was issued by Superbad, Angelico and Jack Evans, and it was accepted! Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks may have a lot on their plate, but can they handle a little more? Or will Sabian and #TH2 be able to capitalize this close to Full Gear?
But wait. What is this ominous message for Omega? “You remember us, don’t you…? We’re still inseparable after all this time, aren’t we…? CLEANER. Remember your friends?” An image of Hangman, the Young Bucks, even Riho and Michael Nakazawa appears. “Remember your BEST friend?” Is that the Golden Star? “He was never on your side. And now it’s only a matter of time until everyone else goes away, too. Doesn’t it hurt being alone? Don’t worry. We can help you. Join us… And your pain will end FOREVER!!!” Wait, something is breaking through the illusions! “Yeah… Stick a sock in it, pal. Mind if I tag in this time, Kenny?” The Elite goes Deltarune! The AAA Omega Champion is Sans! And Matt and Nick Jackson are once again Street Fight’s Ryu and Ken! Will they make it game over in Charleston?
But before the bell, Sabian and TH2 attack! The ref has no choice but to ring the bell while the three beat down The Elite! The Bucks get kicked out and Sabian springboard sentons onto them both! TH2 beat up Omega, then shout at the ref. They double whip but Omega dodges and redirects to dropkick their legs out! Then Omega gives them both the Kotaru Krusher! Sabian returns to kick low and throw hands. But the Bucks return to get Sabian with the alley-oop dropkick! Fans fire up with The Elite as they run at Sabian. Sabian puts Nick on the corner, but that just sets himself up for Nick and Omega kick-elbow combo! Omega feeds Sabian to Matt’s takedown, catapult double enziguri! Sabian falls against Matt’s knees, Nick double stomps in! Fans are all fired up as the Elite has the ring!
The Terminator drums begin but TH2 yank the Bucks out! Evans springboard roundhouses Omega down! Then Evans handsprings, Sasuke Special with a little extra! Sabian stomps Matt down and covers, TWO! Sabian drags Matt up and snap suplexes to another cover, TWO! Fans rally for the Bucks as Matt grits his teeth. Sabian bumps Matt off buckles then stomps away. He hoists Matt up top and throws forearms. Sabian climbs up while fans boo TH2. Matt rights back with body shots, but Sabian springboards for a SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO! Tag to Evans and he brings Matt over. Tag to Angelico, and TH2 double whip Matt backwards! Evans handspring back elbows then Angelico lifts Matt. Evans springboards, dumdum stomp back suplex, into a modified triangle hold! Matt endures but Omega stomps him free! The ref reprimands the Elite while Sabian protests. Matt is in danger while AEW goes to break.
AEW returns as Matt SPEARS Sabian down! Nick Penalty Kicks Angelico and fans fire up! The Bucks combine, springboard splash and moonsault combo! Cover, TWO!! The Bucks are surprised but not deterred. Matt circles Sabian and brings him up to scoop. Fans declare “This is Awesome!” as Sabian slips out and torture racks Matt. Matt escapes the Deathly Hallows but Sabian gets a POISON-RANA! Both men are down but fans rally up. Matt and Sabian crawl, hot tags to Evans and Omega! Evans swings but misses, SNAP DRAGON! Angelico flies in, but also gets a SNAP DRAGON! Sabian kicks, but gets a CHOP! And a- No, Sabian denies the hat trick with an elbow, but swings into the SNAP DRAGON anyway! Fans fire up and Omega snaps his fingers. Sabian and TH2 finally fall over.
Omega takes aim at Evans, BANG, but Evans dodges. Evans waistlocks, Omega standing switches and German Suplexes, but Evans lands on his feet! Evans handspring ax kicks! But he rolls into the Bucks’ buckle bomb and boot combo! Sabian bumps Matt, springboard tornado DDT! SUPERKICK from Nick to Sabian! Eddy Gordo kick from Angelico and he fireman’s carries Nick. Matt anchors a foot, but Evans climbs up and over to dumdum stomp to MOONSAULT! Angelico has Nick up, but Omega V-TRIGGERS Angelico down! Omega has the fans at a fever pitch, and then the Terminator drums begins. Omega rises, takes aim, but Sabian intercepts to throw him out. Sabian mocks the Terminator mode, then runs, to FLY, and get caught, for a TRIPLE APRON BOMB!!
Omega goes into the ring, but Evans boots him back. Evans takes too long bragging, he springboards into a TRIPLE SUPERKICK! Omega takes aim, BANG, V-TRIGGER! And then, Electric Chair, ONE WINGED ANGEL! Cover, The Elite wins!!
Winners: The Elite, Omega pinning
There’s a reason why they call themselves “The Elite!” Sabian and The Hybrid2 learned that first hand, but will Omega and the Bucks continue to prove that?
The Bucks high-five fans, but two Rick & Morty fans won’t let go. Oh no, how did Ortiz and Santana get back in the building?! They drag Matt and Nick over the railing to beat them down! Omega hurries over and runs them off, but Proud ‘n’ Powerful get away without a scratch. What must AEW do to keep the Inner Circle under control?
Peter Avalon w/ Leva Bates VS ???
Once again, The Librarians come out to hush the crowd. And once again, the fans boo back. “It’s Halloween time, which means it is right now appropriate for all you hideous monsters to look the way you do.” Avalon and Bates were at the university library today, and they discovered some evidence as to why wrestling hasn’t come here in almost 20 years. “This place is rotten!” But wait, here comes Jon Moxley! He is coming in through the crowd and to the ring! And he gets in the ring, to give Avalon a Paradigm Shift!! Fans cheer for Moxley in thanks, and then Moxley takes up the mic.
“The grudge match everybody wants to see at Full Gear, Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley, is now an unsanctioned match.” That means no time limits, no count outs, no rules! That’s all fun, but that also means it officially doesn’t count on the record. It officially won’t be on the records, as if it isn’t taking place. Which means when Moxley beats the “so called greatest wrestler int he world,” AEW will pretend like it never happened! This is AEW treating Moxley like an outsider, a freak, in his own little box. Moxley has dealt with this his whole life! This suits, these puppets, all saying he’s a “different type of cat,” as if he doesn’t understand they’re insulting him! He isn’t stupid, but if this is how it is going to be, AEW can take the win-loss records and shove them up their ass! Moxley is the baddest SOB in the game! The sickest SOB in the game! And there ain’t no one can prove him wrong!
If AEW wants unsanctioned, they’ve got it! If they think he’s out of control now, “you ain’t seen nothing yet!” Moxley promises to beat Omega within an inch of his life when he brings “beautiful, glorious wrestling violence the likes of which we haven’t seen in this country in decades.” Omega’s blood will be on AEW’s hands! Moxley tells AEW and TNT the same thing he told the puppets, and the same thing he’ll tell anyone that doesn’t like him: “Kiss my ass and stay the hell out of my way!” Just what won’t the Death Rider do to the Best Bout Machine in Baltimore?

“This is your main event of the evening!” The titles are presented, the introductions are made, and history is also being made in Charleston! Who will be forever known as the first-ever AEW World Tag Team Champions?!
Private Party watches ringside while The Dark Order have seats backstage, made using their creepy underlings. The teams are all riled up and the fans are already thunderous but referee Aubrey Edwards works to maintain order. The teams calm down and Frankie Kazarian is ready to start with Pentagon. Pentagon says Cero Miedo and the bell rings. And the brawl is on! They pick up speed, and now Fenix and Scorpio jump in to brawl with each other! The ref shouts at them but SCU gets the edge! Fans are divided as Kaz runs, but the Lucha Brothers get past Scorpio to double SUPERKICK Kaz! Scorpio fights back, throwing Fenix out of the way.

An incredible and truly stunning victory! The Lucha Brothers still need a moment to register it happened, but we all just witnessed history! Will Charleston forever be the BEST town SCU’s ever been in?
My Thoughts:
An incredible episode right here! So much amazing stuff, even the “filler” was a lot of fun. First, it was quite obvious tonight was sponsored by Rick & Morty, fans got to have Halloween masks and Best Friends plus Cassidy cosplaying, it was hilarious. Naturally Best Friends and Cassidy win, but it was still a good spot for QT Marshall to make his television in-ring return, since he already had his AEW Dark debut. I would love to see if QT Marshall makes a feud with Cassidy and talks about apples and oranges. While we learned about Moxley VS Omega being Unsanctioned from the TV spot to open, it was great for Moxley to attack Peter Avalon and then make it known to the crowd. His promo was amazing, though I am surprised with his line about the win-loss record. We’re basically a month into AEW using those, seems almost too soon to be saying anything about it. But if this means we’re getting an even more intense match than what both Moxley and Omega have had against Joey Janela, this is going to be insane.
The one great thing about AEW right now is that what you would think is a squash match is anything but. Shanna comes out of nowhere to debut, and she puts on a hell of a match with Hikaru Shida. In the end, Shida wins as she technically needs it more to stay afloat in the Women’s Division. I’m also really curious as to what Brandi Rhodes and Awesome Kong are plotting for the division, with Brandi going spooky Heel in that vignette. Hangman VS Sammy was a great opener, but boy the Inner Circle was busy tonight. I feel like Ortiz and Santana were used a little too much. Either attack Rock ‘n’ Roll Express and still go after the Bucks right after, or be in disguise as Rick & Morty fans to attack the Bucks after their match. Doing both seems redundant, but at the same time, things seemed to align where they could do both with it being Rick & Morty night. The attack on R’N’R was definitely more impactful, so I would’ve stuck to just that.
The Elite VS Sabian & TH2 was still a great Six Man, though. Everything was so much fun, from the Undertale style intro for Kenny to Sabian & TH2 taking the fight to The Elite. In the end, The Elite wins, because it keeps them all strong towards Full Gear, and again sets up that Inner Circle ambush. The contract signing was done brilliantly. This is where playing off of what WWE does actually works, because Jericho of course references how almost ever contract signing in WWE ends in a fight between the signing parties. But here, it was about attacking Cody through his family, as Hager just wrecks Dustin. Hager has yet to have a match in AEW, and I’m pretty sure this kayfabe keeps Dustin away, but I don’t know if Cody would risk falling for an Inner Circle trap having a match so soon before Full Gear. Maybe we wait a bit, and Dustin can fight Hager on the road to the next AEW PPV as his revenge.
And of course, what could top it off better than the historic tag title match? Things got a bit dicey, though, with Kaz doing his huricanrana to Fenix on the apron. I think Kaz is getting too old for that spot in particular, but thankfully he didn’t injure himself right there. I suppose as the Faces, and unofficially dedicating this match to Christopher Daniels with the Angel’s Wings randomly, SCU were the right choices to win. This was historic enough, and we can worry about crowning dual champions some other time, depending on when and where The Lucha Brothers come back for another try. Obviously there are plenty of teams who will want those belts, and we might as well consider Young Bucks VS Ortiz & Santana the #1 Contender’s match right now. Either match up would be an instant classic, I just hope AEW can break the mold of always having Face(s) VS Heel(s), as far as title match stories go.
My Score: 9.2/10

Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.
Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall

Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.
The ref counts, Mortos lets off, but Bowens dodges the shot to fire CHOPS! Mortos just roars! Mortos runs up, Bowens dodges to CHOP, CHOP and fire forearms!

Bowens DROPKICKS but Mortos rebounds to CLOBBER Bowens! Bowens gets up but Caster tags in. Caster tells Bowens to relax, but here comes Rush. The fans rally up and the two tie up.

The ref counts as they’re in a corner, and the two separate. Rush eggs Caster on, the two tie up again, and Rush waistlocks. Caster switches, shoves, and drops down. Rush runs up but Caster hurdles. Rush leaps over but Caster runs him over! Rush runs Caster over! The fans fire up, but Caster says hold on! Tranquilo! Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!
But then Rush SLINGS Caster to the floor! Billy is upset but the ref wants him to stay back. Billy tries to point out the shenanigans, but Collision goes picture in picture.
The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again! Mortos puts Caster in the corner, taunts Bowens, and while the ref is busy with Bowens, that lets The Snake get in cheap shots!

Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.

Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEXÂ on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?
Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again. Komander leaps over, keeps moving, and he springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG!
The fans fire up while Rocky bails out. Komander builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Rocky and the fans fire up again! Komander feeds off the energy to put Rocky in the ring. Komander goes up a corner, takes aim, but Rocky moves. Komander rolls through, comes back, and dodges to then handspring and- FACEBUSTER from Rocky! Cover, TWO!

MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!

Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!

Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!

Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
